Tip 10. Capture small details

You don’t have to shoot sweeping views to create successful landscape photographs – details in the landscape reveal a more intimate side to a location and can be just as revealing but in a less obvious way. Telephoto and telezoom lenses are ideal for capturing details because of the way they magnify everything and limit what you can see. This allows you to home in on small areas and shoot scenes within a scene. Telezoom lenses are more versatile than prime telephotos as you can adjust the focal length to fine-tune the composition.
